Jacob Fleming, leading B2B meeting organisers will host their latest conference ‘The Future of Management Development’, to take place on the 25th & 26th September 2008 in Amsterdam. This event has been designed to respond to the need of the HR Industry to successfully apply the next generation of leaders.
Today companies are more than ever dependent on the quality of their current management, and their future is equally reliant on the quality of future leaders. With the increasing market turbulence, investor impatience and public cynicism companies need to know how to identify the qualities and capacities required for successful leaders.
During this event the audience will learn from expert speakers from top companies renowned for their extremely successful, well-organised HR departments with several awards to prove it. This event will be a unique opportunity for anyone attending.
The Leader of International Learning and Development at Microsoft is scheduled to give the first speech of the two day event explaining useful methods in talent management, cooperative communication and the integration of social networking models as knowledge tools.
Deputy General Manager from Toyota Academy Europe will share her experience in implementing talent development programs with Toyota’s management philosophy and values. It will be beneficial for attendees to find out how to adapt training programs that are tailored to business needs and changing the behaviour of current and future talents inside a large multinational corporation.
IBM’s Director of HR Learning EMEA will attend to share her HR strategy which incorporates e-learning. E-learning is just one of the technical aspects providing adaptable upgrades to traditional training programs as well as software and tools that many companies are currently using.
This event will provide attendees with valuable learning from the experience of companies and academies including: Nestle-Purina, Credit Suisse, IKEA, Volkswagen University, AstraZeneca B.V., BBVA, Defense Academy of the UK, European Commission and SAB Miller.

Plans for the UK's first vegetable oil power plants
Biofuelwatch and the London Food not Fuel group are campaigning against plans for the UK's first vegetable oil power plant. The company Blue NG has applied to Newham LBC for planning permission to build a large CHP plant which could only run on vegetable oil. It would use 56,000 litres per day. They intend to submit seven further similar applicatons throughout the UK. In Germany, there are 1,800 such CHP plants, and the great majority of them run on palm oil, because this is by far the cheapest. Blue NG specifically refer to plans to use palm oil as well as rapeseed oil and jatropha oil in their planning applicaton. Rapeseed oil would be highly problematic, too, because the EU is already a net importer of rapeseed oil, given that 66% of what is produced here is turned into biodiesel. Using rapeseed oil for heat and power will just result in more vegetable oil, inlcuding palm oil being imported.
Furthermore, according to a recent study by nobel laureate Paul Crutzen, burning rapeseed oil is associated with up to 70% more greenhouse gas emissions than burning fossil fuel diesel, because of the high emisssions of nitrous oxide linked to fertiliser use. Plus, it's a disaster for our biodiversity. And jatropha, not yet commercially avaialable, is linked to a major land grab, the displacement of communities and of food production across many countries, including India, Tanzania, Mozambique and Ethiopia.
There is great concern that planning approval in Beckton could pave the way for large-scale vegetable oil and in particular palm oil burning in CHP in the UK.
For background about the likely impacts of the plant, see www.biofuelwatch.org.uk/files/thames_gateway_biodiesel_project.pdf.
If it goes ahead, it would have very serious impacts on deforestation and thus climate change, on communities in the South, but also on residents in the Beckton area, since vegetable oil burning is associated with high emissions of PM 2.5 and NOx, which pose a serious risk to public health.

Jacob Fleming provides strategic event on Energy Efficiency
Jacob Fleming, leading B2B strategic meeting organisers are to host an event named ‘Energy Efficiency and Clean Development Mechanisms’ in support of today’s Oil and Gas Industry. The conference is being held on the 7th & 8th October 2008 in beautiful Barcelona.
The current situation in the oil refining, chemical and petrochemical industry is evolving. Stringent governmental regulation and the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol means that companies are investing huge amounts of capital in new technologies, strategies and clean development mechanisms.
There is the need for these companies to know how to best implement these changes in their already profitable plants and refineries and how they can successfully minimise the possible costs and take advantage of the possible opportunities such as leaner, more efficient operations, an increase in profits and the ever sought after competitive edge.
The event will bring together industry experts to share their experiences and understand emerging technologies. The speakers will be presenting case studies and having panel discussions which will give attendees a strong platform for learning as well as having the opportunity for networking with fellow operators during the whole event.
One of the guest speakers comes from Petrobras: The Energy Efficiency Manager will discuss the most recent developments in the industry, overcoming challenges associated with adapting operations and predicting the future of energy efficiency in the oil refinery, chemical and petrochemical industry.
Lead Environmental Engineer at Qatar Petroleum will present a case study on choosing the right clean development mechanism and measuring the performance in terms of emission reduction. He will also define how to comply with various factors: auditors requirements, Kyoto requirements and local authorities.
Other guest speakers covering topics from assessing carbon footprint to the benefits of cogeneration in Plants and Refineries will attend from companies including Total, The PACE Centre, Technical University Delft, Rompetrol, Neste Jacobs Oil, Sabic Technology Centre, MOL, Borealis, Unipetrol, Fluor and Gassnova.

Jacob Fleming showcases 2nd Annual Interstate Oil & Gas Transmission Risk Management
Jacob Fleming leading B2B strategic meeting organisers are to host their 2nd Annual ‘Interstate Oil & Gas Transmission Risk Management Conference’ taking place on the 21st & 22nd October in Barcelona. The event has been designed to provide industry leaders with positive methods to define and overcome the risks of transporting Oil & Gas.
With the increasing demand for oil and gas, and the EU looking to diversify in suppliers and routes, Interstate Oil and Gas Transmission Risk Management is more and more important. Oil and Gas is being transported over long stretches in growing numbers, and with the length of the transmission system, the risk involved increases.
This conference has been designed to address and discuss these challenges with the support of expert speakers featuring on the agenda.
They will focus on key topics to manage risk in international transportation more effectively, through a better understanding of all factors at play, and offer possible solutions. Speakers will teach attendees about the latest EU policy in the industry as well sharing their own experience.
The VP for Transmission & Marketing at Total E&P will deliver a case study on systems and political implications of multi-country character in long distance transmission. He will discuss the long distance pipelines currently under construction through several countries, and how vital the co-operation is between these countries.
A Senior Representative from European Investment Bank will present a case-study from an Investment Risk Perspective. He will talk about the kind of threats that investment in an interstate transmission project could come about during its lifestyle. There are many types of risks at different stages and at this specific event, he will talk about how to manage these risks in the most effective way.
Other speakers come from various companies in the industry including StatoilHyrdo, Gasso, EconGas, DONG Energy Pipelines, National Grid, Technical University, MOL, Interstate for Energy in Southeast Europe, MERO CR and TIGF.

Acknowledge the Risks & Ensure Preparedness
Jacob Fleming leading B2B meeting organisers have designed a strategic conference, ‘Emergency Planning and Business continuity Management’ for the Oil & Gas Industry. The event is taking place on the 2nd & 3rd October at a five star venue in Barcelona.
Today, the Oil and Gas industry is ever-expanding and facing new challenges constantly. With the increase in operations, both new and transformed challenges are facing the industry. There are always schemes to prevent an accident or disaster but not all can be avoided; such as terrorism, natural disasters and pandemics (Influenza Flu Pandemic). Whilst the challenges to the industry are evolving, the basic strategies in place remain robust: Emergency Planning and Business Continuity Management (BCM).
Emergency planning allows for the industry to consider worst-case scenarios, whilst effective BCM can pinpoint the key products and services and the potential threats to these. At this event, through its expert speaker panel, Jacob Fleming will address all of these issues.
Senior Safety Consultant from Agip KCO UK will assess all the emergency situations and EER (Escape, Evacuation and Rescue) Performance Standards. He will also demonstrate the adequate provision for the full and safe sheltering, EER and recovery of all personnel in the event of a major accident.
The Safety and Security Manager from Rompetrol will address how to implement and best practice business continuity management. He will share his experience of knowing and understanding the risks and highlight how best to incorporate them into BCM. He will also cover security precautions for IT, Corporate and Internet Security Systems, to establish a better security standard overall.
On day two, as well as many other presentations, there will be an interactive round-table discussion from a group of experts on some past worst case scenarios, led by a speaker from Shell Nigeria. They will discuss common dangers that have led to disastrous incidents in the past and how the industry can learn from the past to prevent future incidents from occurring.
Attendees will have the opportunity to benchmark with their peers and learn about new strategies that will innovate for the future.
The other top industry speakers will be attending from SAMREF, Chevron Nigeria, ConocoPhillips, Shell Nigeria, Agip KCO Kazakhstan, OMV, Marathan Oil, Total Nigeria, Heriot-Watt University, Lamor Swire Environmental, Petrobas, StatollHydro and Kuwait Petroleum Corporation.
